Distributor module or measuring system comprising said distributor module

Abstract

A distributor module serves for distributing electrical power to at least two connected measuring devices and for forwarding to at least one superordinated electronic data processing unit information concerning at least one physical, measured variable transmitted from the connected at least two measuring devices. For this, the distributor module comprises a module housing as well as an electronics module placed within the module housing. Additionally present in the distributor module are two or more connection systems, one for each of the measuring devices delivering measured data, with, in each case, a transformer coil placed within the module housing and connected to the electronics module for forming a data as well as electrical energy transmitting, inductively coupling interface, as well as at least one connection system for the at least one data processing unit, wherein each of the transformer coils is placed, in each case, within a plug connector element composed at least partially of plastic or other synthetic material and serving for forming a plug connector coupling. Moreover, it is provided that the distributor module is applied in a measuring system serving for measuring at least one physical and / or at least one chemical, measured variable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a distributor module for distributing electrical power to at least two connected measuring devices and for forwarding information concerning at least one physical measured variable sent by the at least two connected measuring devices to at least one superordinated The electronic data processing unit, wherein the physical measured variable is used in particular as a process parameter of the industrial and / or automated process to be monitored, the electronic data processing unit in particular also processes the data corresponding to the measured variable and / or controls the distributor modules. The invention also relates to a measuring system formed by means of such a distributor module. Background technique [0002] Such measuring systems of modular construction used in the field of industrial measuring technology or their individual components are described, for example, in US-A 61 45 392, US-B 63 66 346, US-B 64 76 520, US-B 6...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the use of several measuring systems for measuring points that form redundant or virtually uninterrupted operation, both in terms of acquisition costs, especially due to the corresponding increase in the number of individual parts and the resulting increased calibration and maintenance demand, or in terms of operating costs, greatly increased expenditures
